Abstract: To transfer slurry without a binder smoothly in each transition between a dewatering process, a water squeezing process, and a drying process during formation of the slurry into a sheet-like shape through these processes. A dewatering process unit P1 conveys slurry while removing moisture in the slurry. A water squeezing process unit P2 conveys the resultant slurry while squeezing water from the slurry by rolling the slurry. A drying process unit P3 conveys the resultant slurry while drying the slurry by heating the slurry. The conveyance speed of the slurry in the water squeezing process is lower than the conveyance speed of the slurry in the dewatering process. The conveyance speed of the slurry in the drying process is lower than the conveyance speed of the slurry in the water squeezing process.
